Gu Anran is stunned by her senior brother's artifact-refining prowess, realizing super divine treasures are far beyond her reach. Meanwhile, Ye Yun emerges from the Yin-Yang Formation and encounters the Yin Yang Refining Virtual Dragon. He reveals his control over the formation and the Tai Chi Diagram, astonishing the dragon. Ye Yun uses his Ancestral Dragon's Breath to unlock the dragon's deep-seated respect for him, forcing it to transform into human form as per dragon clan rules.

The transformed Yin Yang Refining Virtual Dragon, now a youth, stood at Ye Yun's side, his hands hanging loosely, a lingering unease still present. His eyes, however, shone with clarity. The dragon now understood why a Tai Chi Diagram had manifested during his moment of peril, deflecting the formidable power of the great formation. It was because he was a member of the Dragon Clan, a subordinate to the Ancestor Dragon. The Ancestor Dragon had shown compassion, pulling him back from the brink of devastation.

"Ancestor Dragon, my mother once told me that after your disappearance, the Ten Super Divine Dragons engaged in chaotic conflict, only to be ambushed by the Divine Spirit Army. The Dragon Clan on the Hidden Dragon Continent was in disarray then..." The Yin Yang Refining Virtual Dragon spoke softly, rubbing his hands together.

"I am the New Ancestor Dragon." Ye Yun's expression remained neutral. Gazing at the Yin Yang Refining Virtual Dragon, he inquired in a deep voice, "How did your mother meet her demise?"

New Ancestor Dragon? The Yin Yang Refining Virtual Dragon's heart skipped a beat, a flicker of panic crossing his features. Yet, the undeniable suppression on his bloodline, the truth inherent in the Dragon Clan's lineage, could not be denied. In that instant, the Yin Yang Refining Virtual Dragon accepted Ye Yun's identity as the New Ancestor Dragon.

"Ancestor Dragon, my mother was part of the personal guard serving the Ten Super Divine Dragons, specifically Day Red Dragon. Back then, she fought fiercely alongside Lord Day Red Dragon against other Divine Dragons and sustained grievous injuries... Later, Lord Day Red Dragon led my mother and others in an escape from the Hidden Dragon Continent. To evade pursuit, they were forced to scatter. My mother inadvertently stumbled into the Yin Yang Cave, alerting that fiend, the Yin and Yang Old Ghost. A fierce battle ensued, further weakening her. During this perilous time, she gave birth to me while still pregnant..." The Yin Yang Refining Virtual Dragon recounted, his voice heavy with a profound sadness and simmering anger, betraying a deep-seated resentment towards the Yin and Yang Old Ghost.

Hearing the Dragon's tale, Ye Yun let out a gentle sigh, envisioning the scene: a mother dragon, heavily wounded and pregnant, mistakenly seeking refuge in the Yin Yang Cave, only to discover a formidable Artifact Spirit lurking within. The ensuing intense battle only exacerbated her injuries. Under such dire circumstances, she laid a dragon egg.

"Although critically injured, my mother mustered all her strength to repel the Artifact Spirit's assault, significantly weakening the formation's power. A stalemate was reached, and seizing the opportunity, my mother began to heal using the Yin-Yang Energy present here, all while slowly nurturing me within the dragon egg..." the Yin Yang Refining Virtual Dragon continued, his tone sorrowful.

"Your mother truly endured immense hardship back then." Ye Yun sighed deeply.

"Indeed, Ancestor Dragon. Due to her severe wounds, my mother was ultimately weaker than that detestable Yin and Yang Old Ghost. In subsequent confrontations, she was perpetually at a disadvantage. She barely clung to life for millions of years before finally perishing!" the Yin Yang Refining Virtual Dragon declared, hatred etched onto his face. His fists clenched, veins bulging, his draconic eyes blazing crimson. An irreconcilable blood feud simmered within him, a gnawing torment.

"Mm." Ye Yun nodded in silent acknowledgment. The Yin and Yang Old Ghost had indeed forged a blood feud with the Yin Yang Refining Virtual Dragon, a conflict that could not be easily resolved. Resolution would necessitate decisive action against one party. Ye Yun, representing the Ancestor Dragon, naturally wished to aid the Yin Yang Refining Virtual Dragon. However, the Yin and Yang Old Ghost, an Artifact Spirit from a previous era, possessed extensive knowledge that could prove invaluable in the future. After careful consideration, Ye Yun reached a decision.

"After your mother's passing, you were quite weak. How did you manage to evade the Yin and Yang Old Ghost's continued suppression?" Ye Yun inquired.

"Ancestor Dragon, before she died, my mother employed a forbidden technique, imbuing me with a divine skill. Once activated, this skill would affect the entire Yin Yang Cave, posing a direct threat to the Yin and Yang Old Ghost's existence." the Yin Yang Refining Virtual Dragon explained.

Ye Yun pondered for a moment. "Was it the Yin Yang Great Burial technique?"

"Yes, Ancestor Dragon," replied the Yin Yang Refining Virtual Dragon.

The Yin Yang Refining Virtual Dragon, after a brief pause of several seconds, continued his narrative. "However, the Yin Yang Great Burial technique was not without its temporal limitations. Just as my cultivation reached the half-step God King Realm, the divine skill vanished. Yet, by then, I had already acquired the power to contend with the Yin and Yang Old Ghost."

"I understand," Ye Yun replied.

Raising his eyebrows, Ye Yun continued his inquiry. "Did your mother ever mention the whereabouts of Lord Day Red Dragon from that era?"

"Lord Ancestor Dragon, my mother instructed me that upon reaching the Divine King Realm, I would be permitted to depart the Yin Yang Cave and journey westward. There, in the Open Sun Galaxy, I would find Lord Day Red Dragon," the Yin Yang Refining Virtual Dragon stated with deference.

Open Sun Galaxy? Ye Yun mused, searching his memories but finding no recollection of such a place. He had only ventured into the Yao Guang Galaxy.

Where could this Open Sun Galaxy be situated? The name 'Open Sun,' much like 'Yao Guang,' resonated as one of the Seven Stars of the Big Dipper.

"It seems there are still many hidden secrets within the Divine Land," Ye Yun pondered, "of which the location of the Open Sun Galaxy is a prime example, hardly known to anyone..."

"Lord Ancestor Dragon, have you managed to subdue the Yin and Yang Old Ghost?" the Yin Yang Refining Virtual Dragon inquired nervously, fidgeting with his hands.

"Indeed, he is sealed within the Yin Yang Orb. Furthermore, I have also undertaken repairs on the Yin Yang Orb," Ye Yun confirmed with a nod, revealing everything without reservation.

Recognizing the immense value of the Yin Yang Refining Virtual Dragon, Ye Yun intended to bring him under his wing, planning to rely on him for future tasks, including the search for Lord Day Red Dragon.

"Follow me," Ye Yun instructed gently. He then emitted a beam of light, piercing through the black and white expanse of the ocean and entering the core space of the grand formation.

"As expected of Lord Ancestor Dragon, to so effortlessly breach the core space of the formation..." The Yin Yang Refining Virtual Dragon exclaimed with excitement after entering the core space, his gaze sweeping around.

His eyes quickly fell upon the black and white Yin Yang Orb, suspended silently in the void.

"The Yin and Yang Old Ghost is sealed within the Yin Yang Orb. Do not entertain any undue thoughts..." Ye Yun stated calmly.

"Yes, Lord Ancestor Dragon," the Yin Yang Refining Virtual Dragon responded obediently.

His attention then shifted to Gu Anran, clad in white. However, Gu Anran, at that moment, was completely unaware of their presence, as Ye Yun had deliberately isolated the space.

Ye Yun deemed it crucial to keep his identity as the Ancestor Dragon a secret from his junior sister.

"Come here!" Ye Yun called out gently and reached out, his hand closing around the colossal Yin Yang Orb.

Under the influence of his power, the Yin Yang Orb rapidly diminished in size until it was no larger than a palm. With a flick of his wrist, the Yin Yang Orb vanished entirely.

The Yin Yang Refining Virtual Dragon stood dumbfounded nearby.

What was Lord Ancestor Dragon intending to do? He had anticipated Lord Ancestor Dragon would exact vengeance for him, yet instead, Lord Ancestor Dragon had taken the Yin Yang Orb.

"Could it be that Lord Ancestor Dragon also harbors ambitions for the Yin Yang Orb?" the Yin Yang Refining Virtual Dragon wondered nervously.

Ye Yun remained still. A wisp of his Primordial Spirit, carrying the Yin Yang Orb, entered the warehouse.

"Imitation Mirror, where have you gone? Emerge quickly, your task has arrived!" Ye Yun couldn't help but call out with a smile as he reached the warehouse entrance, gazing into the pitch-black and silent expanse within.
